Hey there soulinertia. Can you post a photo of the back please. And if you happened to take any progress photos especially of the base where the leather sits and is stretched over and bucklaced down.
Wolverine all day baby! Jackets, belts, claws, oh my.

You can see a pic of the back in the Junkyard. I did take some progress pics. Let me dig those up. :thumbsup

Yeah...The fit is a touch too small....It's meant to be close, and on the open front photo, it's good..But zipped up there's just a little less space than would be ideal.....The back is also a touch narrower than mine I think...The shoulders extend a touch wider on Dan's design, and make the back seem far wider than on this jacket, but the front is a decent enough copy if sized correctly I suspect!

Does anyone know anything about Leather Next? The Wolverine Jacket they have on Ebay looks very nice for someone like me on a budget. The title of the listing is LEATHER NEXT Wolverine X-Men Origins Leather Jacket Replica Size Lg NEW if anyone wants to check it out and tell me what they think. i would appreciate it.
I may also look into Wolverinejacket.com for one. I cannot afford a Vanson or anything along those lines.

I kinda lean in the dodgy enough side of things
I used to own their XO which to be fair was a nicely constructed jacket although the stitching wasn't that great on it
Logans closet are going to be doing an affordable version soon with a short turn around my plan is to wait for that
especially seeing how awesome the prototype is in your pics

Affordable? Did I miss something here? Is he doing something new?

"Logan's Closet" & "affordable" go together about as well as "Belstaff" & "affordable".

Wait, so it won't be vanson anymore? I don't like that idea...I'm willing to pay the 600 bucks because I know first hand the craftsmanship. Vanson's are tanks and wouldn't fall apart for a lifetime.

Regarding LetherNext out of the UK. I had good success with them. I'm Canadian, but I had a friend go over to the UK (not specifically for the jacket), and she went to their shop, with my measurements. In about a week the order was done, and she brought it back to Canada. I would not hesitate to use them again. Here is a pic of the jacket - at the recent Calgary Comic Con - (with Colossus).

Yup....It's a Vanson....Just a little differently coloured.....The leather also was a special selection, since it's somewhat lighter and softer than the "usual" Dan uses for the X0...We'd talked about it and I'd said that since the X1 I have is heavyweight, I was open to that again, but would prefer a somewhat lighter jacket....And Dan had Vanson use some medium weight cowhide instead of the usual heavyweight on mine.....That's about the only difference I think....

I know I would never be able t afford a Vanson, but I like the idea that Logan's Closet will have more affordable options. I guess we'll wait and see.
Anyone buy from Woverinejacket.com? Were you happy with it?

I've had a few requests to show some progress pics, so here' goes . . .
OK, So here is the initial center design in the raw natural Veg:
After some more tooling:
Reinforcing the slots for the leather lace:
After forming the leather to give it the dome shape:
Starting the thread (this was probably the longest process):
Finished lacing:
From the side:
Initial dye application with a brush:
More dye with sponge:
A little buff and polish:
Application of some gold acrylic paint for the finishing touch:
The final piece:
Cheers! :cheers

Who says there isn't enough of us to get a run going to lower the price? We got a belt with mags and now this...I think we are all set.
